This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding, yet 66% of people did so when driving. And if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via Carlton Reid

Glad I spent a little extra on a practical city vehicle that can handle the snow and ice! (Mine is the one in the foreground...) #EV #cargobike

Imagine how much more biking & bikeshare use we would have if we had safe biking infra along Connecticut Avenue which is one of DCs densest corridors.

Not much in Ward 3 in the pipeline but the small piece in Friendship Heights will be useful, particularly if the Jenifer Street lane is continued into Montgomery County. Matt' Johnson 🏳️‍🌈

The cycles of diplomacy: I love that Denmark in USA 🇩🇰 has bikes available for Danish diplomats to get around D.C. He told me it’s just much more efficient than driving.

Kids who ride bikes regularly get a boost in cognitive function AND are much less likely to be overweight as adults. Using a bike to get around is great for the body and mind.

"Bikes are good for business" case studies aren't new. NYC was an early adopter of protected bike lanes and started tracking the outcomes right away. After 8th & 9th Avenue projects were complete, locally-based businesses saw retail sales soar. Bike are good for business!
